    I can’t say I’m not upset by this, but then I was taught violins is not the answer.

      If you find it so disconcerting maybe you should report them and try to get them band.

      Probably has to do with the degradation of written language. With kids using emojis more than words these days our writing is being reduced to a bunch of cymbals.

        While I don’t mean to harp and I’m not one to bassoon, but I’ve noticed moreso it’s boomers who fiddle around with emojis.

          I’ve noticed they seem to be the type to flute the law, but oboe do they hate being called out for it. They’re bongos, man, completely bongos.

    Guess I’m the one in ten.

    Spent a good 30sec staring at the top line wondering wtf the writer was smoking before I read the bottom…

    Would probably work better if the word wasn’t the first in the sentence. Humans probably use the first half of a sentence in their initial assumptions about what it’s likely saying… Probably prioritising the first few the most.

    You can get away with all sorts of shenanigans and have your text still be readable - like removing all the vowels, or scrambling everything except the first and last letter of each word. Worth remembering when you see someone misspell a word they must have seen a million times.

        The lack of a second mistake is the the second mistake. I don’t know if that is a paradox though.

          It’s a paradox because if you count it as a mistake, then there are two mistakes, so it’s not a mistake, so there’s only one mistake, so it is a mistake.

    I called my friend Andy “Amdy” for like two years before he noticed. This meme would work better spoken.

      ich you have adhd and asperger or better, you might end up beeing trained by yourself for ignoring google’s, microsoft’s or other f’uped up so called “autocorrection” and ‘automatically’ overlook single mismatching words but recognize the sentence as a whole without actually reading it word by word. some can read entire pages with a single look on it without focusing on a a specific region or i.e. the center while still beeing able to later rephrase the content of the entire page.

      1up for all with special (dis-)Abilities!!
